I love this basket. It is extremely well crafted. It's very strong, sturdy and will last for years. I bought it for my sewing, but you could use it for whatever. I also liked the information about where it came from that was included with the basket. It was well worth the money. I would definitely buy more in the future. These are truly unique baskets. Tyler
The baskets arrived and everything is stunningly beautiful!!! . They are so beautiful, it humbles me. I am in awe of the weavers' talent every time an order arrives! The shipments arrive so quickly, too. Carrie
